There are many classic video game franchises that have withstood the test of time. Some notable examples include Mario and Pokemon. Another example is the Bomberman franchise, which began back in 1983. Now this explosive game series is expanding to the blockchain as nWay and Animoca Brands recently <a href="https://x.com/Cosmic_Bomber/status/1818798868479500514">unveiled</a> Cosmic Bomber’s open beta. The game is currently available exclusively to Moca ID holders within the Cosmic Club social hub, and if you have some arcade experience, you’ll fit right in.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/cosmic_bomber_beta_01_38ae8857c3.jpg" alt="cosmic-bomber-beta-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_cosmic_bomber_beta_01_38ae8857c3.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_cosmic_bomber_beta_01_38ae8857c3.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_cosmic_bomber_beta_01_38ae8857c3.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_cosmic_bomber_beta_01_38ae8857c3.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>Bomberman Explodes Onto the Blockchain</h2>&nbsp;Just like the Bomberman games, players navigate mazes, placing bombs or magic balloons, to eliminate opponents and clear obstacles in Cosmic Bomber. Considering both nWay and Animoca are fairly experienced names in their respective fields, with Electronic Arts, Nintendo, and Blizzard veterans in their ranks, Cosmic Bomber already checks some of the essential boxes for a crypto game.The developers look forward to rolling out seasonal content updates while the game is set to feature NFT-based character ownership and a vibrant in-game economy. Launching within Mocaverse might be a perfect tactical decision as the platform has an established ecosystem with dedicated players.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/cosmic_bomber_beta_02_ee4409ef02.jpg" alt="cosmic-bomber-beta-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_cosmic_bomber_beta_02_ee4409ef02.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_cosmic_bomber_beta_02_ee4409ef02.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_cosmic_bomber_beta_02_ee4409ef02.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_cosmic_bomber_beta_02_ee4409ef02.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>During the beta, players can earn rewards through gameplay and tournaments. More specifically, Moca ID holders have the opportunity to accumulate Realm Points (RP), which serve as the loyalty currency of Moca ID. These points can be used to enter exclusive tournaments, where players can compete to ascend the leaderboards and earn additional RP rewards.The open beta stage will surely dictate some of the future development decisions for Cosmic Bomber, and even more players will get to test out the game after its full release, as the game plans to go free-to-play following the open beta.&nbsp;<h2>How to Play in Cosmic Bomber’s Open Beta</h2>&nbsp;To play Cosmic Bomber in its beta stage, you need to have a Moca ID. These decentralized identities grant users access to everything under Animoca’s roof, including Cosmic Bomber.There are two ways to get a Moca ID:<ul><li>Use a Moca NFT to get an ID.</li><li>Use an invite code to claim an ID.</li></ul>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/cosmic_bomber_beta_03_7e0442bd49.jpg" alt="cosmic-bomber-beta-03.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_cosmic_bomber_beta_03_7e0442bd49.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_cosmic_bomber_beta_03_7e0442bd49.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_cosmic_bomber_beta_03_7e0442bd49.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>If you’d like to go the invitation route, you’ll need to find someone with a Moca NFT since all owners get invite codes and three more friends to a code. Mocaverse social media accounts also run quite a few giveaways. Keeping a close eye on Moca Network’s <a href="https://x.com/moca_network">X (formerly Twitter)</a> can net you a free invite code and access to Cosmic Bomber.At the time of writing, only Moca ID holders can access the beta. However, once it concludes, the full game will be free for everyone without requiring ownership of specific NFTs or fungible tokens. Early adopters and Moca ID holders will unlock various collectibles, and this method aims to broaden Cosmic Bomber’s accessibility.
